The process of passing the Beaufort County Budget proved again that not all politicians are smart, or know how to manage people, money or situations. Common sense was thrown out the window.

I downloaded the 2013 County budget (all 168 pages) and have been through every page in it. I worked my way through it one page at a time to get a "fix" on what's in it.

In the present economy all of us should acknowledge that budget cutting is necessary. We can't afford the proposed 2011-2012 budget. You have done straw voting and made miniscule changes.
